“This Ling Xu Zi is not easy to deal with, monkey, be careful!”
The Black Wind Mountain Land God urgently reminded him, and then there was no sound.
On the rooftop, Ling Xu Zi climbed all over the roof, and it was already half the size of a house. Two leaps landed him in the courtyard, looking at Zhong Yuan, his eyes only filled with ferocious light.
“You monkey, you killed that Guang Zhi, and you dare to come here? You really don’t know what’s good for you!”
Ling Xu Zi grinned, revealing a cruel light.
He was originally from the Lion-Tamed Kingdom. After the Lion-Tamed Kingdom was destroyed, he took his wolf pack and fled, and finally, under the protection of the Black Wind Monster, he settled down on Black Wind Mountain.
He also took over the former followers of that Ling Xu Zi, responsible for guarding the Guanyin Temple.
But he was different from those fake monks who talked about Buddhism all day long. He was also unlike the previous Ling Xu Zi, who sought immortality and the Tao, believing in those empty words about eternal life.
He only believed in his own strength.
Before, the old followers of that Ling Xu Zi were disobedient and wanted to denounce him. He was about to kill them all when Guang Zhi interfered, stopping him and denying him the opportunity.
It was a good thing Guang Zhi died.
But now this monkey had delivered himself to his door, giving him the perfect chance to make amends with the Black Wind Monster.
Zhong Yuan held out his Fiery Copper Staff, shaking it in the air. Flames instantly spread over the staff.
But the flames were held in Zhong Yuan’s hand, and he was not burned at all.
Zhong Yuan waved his hand: “Come.”
Ling Xu Zi was furious and turned into a black cloud, charging directly at Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan grinned and pointed: “Hold!”
Ling Xu Zi stopped in mid-air. Zhong Yuan rushed forward, his copper staff directly hitting Ling Xu Zi, and flames spread over its body.
However, Ling Xu Zi’s magical power seemed truly extraordinary. Although the flames burned him, his fur still shimmered with spiritual light, completely unaffected.
Ling Xu Zi only paused for a few seconds. The light of the immobilization spell shattered, and he became even more enraged, lunging at Zhong Yuan again.
He swiped with a claw. Zhong Yuan nimbly dodged, but a huge deep gash was cut into the ground.
Zhong Yuan’s expression also became more serious.
This Ling Xu Zi’s magical power was still far above his! His perfected immobilization spell couldn’t even hold him for long!
He had already enhanced his powers many times, and yet there was still a clear gap.
If this were any other Heaven-Chosen, how could they fight?
Even with the remaining power of the Land God, the immobilization spell could still hold Ling Xu Zi, but for such a short time. And the spell bestowed by another was hard to use consecutively.
This could only be used for a brief respite.
Then, could they only rely on their agility to dodge and use a wooden staff to scrape at him until death?
There was absolutely no chance of winning.
Zhong Yuan raised his hand, using the immobilization spell to hold Ling Xu Zi again, while immediately starting to gather his strength.
When Ling Xu Zi could move again, he struck another blow with his staff.
This time, the Mixed Yuan Strike, even with the blazing flames, turned into a fiery pillar several feet long.
Ling Xu Zi was hit squarely, roaring in pain, but his body was not affected much. Instead, his spiritual light erupted, his body grew by a third, and he opened his mouth and bit towards Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan raised his hand and pointed again, but this time, Ling Xu Zi only paused briefly, then continued biting.
Fortunately, Zhong Yuan was prepared and reacted quickly. The short pause was enough to dodge.
He quickly stepped back, stood still, and took a quick breath.
Half of his depleted magical power instantly replenished.
Ling Xu Zi, furious, was already charging at him again.
This time, Zhong Yuan used the immobilization spell again, finally managing to hold Ling Xu Zi. He struck again with his staff, adjusting his strength slightly, directly hitting Ling Xu Zi’s front paw. At the same time, he struck and pulled away as Ling Xu Zi regained his mobility.
He replenished his magical power again.
The Mixed Yuan Strike consumed too much energy. Even though he mastered earth vein breathing, allowing him to recover magical power and stamina by standing on the ground, it took ten times the speed of standing still and recovering fully.
He had completely absorbed the immobilization spell as his own, no longer the words written by the Land Temple, using the Land God’s power. The power of his immobilization spell was now entirely tied to his own magical power.
His current cultivation was indeed still lacking.
But that said, it only took a second for him to gather his strength for the Mixed Yuan Strike. The extra seconds were deliberately slowed down by him. As long as he could immobilize Ling Xu Zi, after adjusting his tactics, Ling Xu Zi would have no chance of resisting.
After three strikes, one of Ling Xu Zi’s front paws was broken, and he was no longer as agile as before.
After five strikes, the fur on his upper body was already charred, and his magical power could no longer protect himself.
The sixth strike, the seventh strike.
Ling Xu Zi’s head finally bowed, killed under Zhong Yuan’s staff.
Until his death, Ling Xu Zi was still filled with anger, feeling extremely resentful.
He had originally looked down on those flashy spells, thinking they were inferior to a single hair of his body. But this immobilization spell was too cheap, holding people still, leaving them no chance to resist.
Zhong Yuan saw Ling Xu Zi’s breath finally disperse, and his body turned to ash. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief.
From Ling Xu Zi’s body, a ray of light, much stronger than any ordinary demon, flew out, and finally landed on him.
Zhong Yuan could clearly feel his magical power increase slightly.
“Heh, underestimated you.” The Black Wind Mountain Land God’s voice echoed again: “Since you’ve dealt with it, why not turn this place upside down first?”
“The Black Wind Monster gave Ling Xu Zi a Golden Core. If you find it, it’s not a wasted trip.”
